Facebook meme reading:

"What's going on?
○ It's annoying or not interesting
● I'm in this photo and I don't like it
○ I think it shouldn't be on Facebook
○ It's spam"

the second option of "I'm in this photo and I don't like it" is selected

a new york love story: @arcadecommons.org has been making DIY arcade cabinets for over 10 years, and @b0tster.yeag.gay's handmade nightmare kart is its haunted crown jewel 🩸

thank u @construct.goblinmo.de for making this happen

thank u indie for existing

Mass layoffs, studio closures, and the live-service graveyard are no match for the legally distinct Nightmare Kart arcade cabinet

These egregious payment processor policy changes and the campaign by Collective Shout are rooted in deep homophobia, transphobia, and a right-wing effort to destroy and disenfranchise queer/marginalized communities and artists.
